Fine Tableware Collections – Fruit And Serving Bowls For The Table

                 A  serving bowl is perhaps one of the most important components of any fine tableware collection. In the United States (and around the world) bringing food to the dining table in the original pots and pans is not the traditional practice. Instead, prepared food is transferred to large serving bowls ranging from simple to ornate. The concept of a bowl has been around for centuries as a convenient method serving, eating and storing food.

            Creating a fine tableware collection typically consists of shifting the focus from everyday tableware (plates, cups, glasses) towards larger pieces such as serving platters, large serving bowls, cake plates, salt and pepper shakers and other “serving” dishes. This is a practical idea because when serving a meal (especially a meal with multiple courses) it is important to have enough bowls and platters to present the food to family and guests while maintaining an attractive display. The type of tableware chosen to serve food is almost as important as what food is served.

            Create a common theme by using the same or similar colors throughout your tableware collection (such as pink, blue or green). It is also possible to add accents of color such as a ruby red cake plate to a collection as well. There are no set “rules” for how to create a dining collection and mixing and matching colors can be a fun way to add extra detail and design to your table for any meal. Try selecting bowls with patterns such as Thistle, Nicole, Elizabethan, or Heritage. Patterns can be introduced to other tableware or stand alone as a unique item.

            Have fun this year creating a beautiful presentation for holiday, celebration or every day meals by adding new color and excitement to your tableware collection. Remember to care for your glass by not transferring it between extreme temperatures too quickly (which can lead to breaks) and storing your glassware carefully when not in use. LookInTheAttic & Company offers a fantastic selection of fine tableware for the home and they offer free assistance as well. Present your food in style this year and begin to build a collection you can cherish for a lifetime.
